You have a minor panic attack because DH tells you that today you are not allowed to go onto myfico, check reports on any CM website, or check the mail for a green card or response because he really just wants one day with me without the "distraction."

That has a totally different meaning for some of us. I panic if I go into the safe and don't see mine right away. I've been asked for mail with my address on it a few times recently, and you should see the eyes widen when you say, "Why yes, would something from Homeland Security suffice?". Alright, we now return you to your regularly scheduled program...

Everyone knows that the Red threat was never Mother Russia, but in reality that RED Maple Leaf... you and your socialized medicine!!!! **Throws up a Tea Party clenched fist**

We'll politely avoid discussing misconceptions in politics and economics between our two countries. I am obsessed with FICO... because I applied for the Wally World Discover instead of Discover More to get the score.

DW and I actually did that. We app'd just to get a feel with a potential lender-to-be and to learn of our EX FICO. However, the lender sold us on proceeding now and scores weren't an issue, so we relented.

do-over. Take out a mortage, apply for AE and in my case if BofA used EX - apply for one of their CCs just to get my EX score.
